An early build of Maximum-Football was featured in the January 2004 edition of PC Gamer Magazine ( pg1, pg2 ).Maximum-Football 2.0 came out a year later with improved graphics, gameplay and a whole host of new features like full XBox 360 controller support, full DirectX 9.0 utilization, and scores of other upgrades and improvements, Maximum-Football 2.0 delivers on gameplay and fun like a bullet pass through double coverage.
